Washington: Tom Cruise’s lawyer has slammed a magazine that published a story that accuses the actor of abandoning his daughter after divorce.

Attorney Bert Fields fired off an email, attacking Life and Style, for what he says is “a bogus cover headline that Suri has been ‘ABANDONED BY HER DAD.’

“That, as anyone knows who saw their photos together yesterday and today, is a disgusting, vicious lie,” TMZ.com quoted Fields as saying.

“Until this week, Tom was shooting a film on location, but he spoke to Suri every day.

“He’s with Suri right now; and he was with her the day before Life and Style trumpeted their cruelly false accusation. Tom dearly loves Suri and the last thing he would ever do is abandoned her,” he added.
